I’m not a fan of Kelly, but “ballrooms, bankruptcy, and bullshit” is a good line.

Ok fine. Fuck the Kennedy Center for ever and ever.

Poor baby. Hope he gets attacked and put out of his misery.

Buttigieg is exactly the kind of unprincipled self-interested milquetoast corporate operator that I expect Democratic Party leadership to think will “unite” the electorate. He wont. He’s the embodiment of the shallow “what do I have to say to get you to vote for me” politicians that younger, angrier voters are rebelling against.

I’m just being morally consistent. I understand why that would be confusing to most Americans.

Alright. Sounds like a good time for folks to strike back at the global hegemon. Please, hit us while we’re down.

JFC. When are Democrats going to realize that they need to stand for something? They are just constantly too afraid to advocate for a point of view. Stop with the consultant-brained 5 dimensional chess bullshit and just make an argument. Persuade people of the merit of your worldview. In other words, lead.

Good.

“hostile takeover” using the communication of ideas and persuading people to vote — so, literally ‘democracy’. Disagree on policy all you want, but if you’ve got a problem with the act of democracy, I humbly suggest that you aren’t a “Democrat” and democrats should ignore any guidance from you.

Boycott, divest, and sanction is just a start. I suggest adding: blockade and invade. The world should not tolerate a violent, bigoted ethnostate whose organizing function is displacing, torturing, and killing people for real estate.

In the US, the president gets to decide what you do with your money, I guess.

Over-emphasizing metrics about employee submission and control is another clear sign of the decay of social order under capitalism. This is a society whose organizing functions have no direct concern for people’s wellbeing. These employers deserve every scrap of contempt they foster.

For the record, I hate fascists like Netanyahu and the Israeli government. It’s okay to hate such evil people because of their actions.

Does anyone have tips for how to identify (and avoid) sites that use shopify?

Sounds like the president is telling us that opposing pedophilia is a communist position.

It’s a little encouraging that ghouls with presidential aspirations like Whitmer and Newsom are letting the mask slip in such obvious ways.

At some point, local communities need to start addressing the overreach of this federal government. These are not national elections, they are state elections and the feds have no authority or role in them. trump’s thugs should be ridiculed, doxed, physically confronted, and driven out by local and state authorities.That means cops. That means governors deploying the national guard.

Of course none of that will ever happen because cops generally don’t actually give a fuck about their community or laws, and governors and the national guard are mostly showboating pussies.

Don’t worry, these are Democrats we are talking about. They will find a way.

Isn’t it always claiming that these networks are completely failing? Why would it care if such failing networks covered its speech?

Why would America’s enemies, foreign and domestic, rig the election against trump when he was president in 2020, but then not rig it when their guy was president in 2024?
